I am a firm believer that children most often only misbehave when they are either hungry or tired. I am also a firm believer that we never quite grow out of that… the only time I am cranky really is when I am either hungry or tired. So when my friend asked me to keep her two little ones for a couple hours one afternoon, I knew I wanted to go equipped with tasty snacks and a plan to be as lazy as we wanted. It was perfect.
I stopped by Publix on the way to their house to grab snacks for me and the kiddos. I wanted stuff that was healthy and convenient for all of us, so I got some Sprout ® Organic Baby and Toddler food for them and some fresh fruits and veggies for me. I loved the peace of mind that the Sprout ® Organic snacks were non GMO and did not have any additives, fillers, or flavors. They were just real.honest.pure ingredients.
When I arrived both children were still napping, but their mom said they always have snack as soon as they wake up. Wanting to avoid the “tired and hungry crankiness” I set their snacks up on their table to be ready when they woke.
The little guy got up first, and as soon as we had him changed, his sister lazily strolled in to the living room. I told them I had brought some new snacks for them to try out – and to tell me if they liked them. I started with the Sprout® Organic Toddler Snacks. I love that they were the perfect little bite size pieces.
Like a good little babysitter I actually tried the snacks first before giving them to the kids. Remember me saying that they were tasty enough even * I * would eat them? Right – those little Sprout ® Organic Orange Fruit and Carrot Cereal Snacks are delicious… I ate an entire bag. You know – just to make sure they were ok for the kids. *ahem*
While they were noshing on the snacks I opened up their Sprout® Organic Purees to go with them. Once they got the hang of having to suck on them like a straw – it was on. They loved them! So much so that when the little guy finished his early… he helped himself to his sister’s.
After snack we piled up on the couch and watched movies and played games until their Mom got home. It was a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Everyone stayed happy – and my baby fever was cured!
